I write about a variety of subjects, often seemingly unrelated. My experience, and the experience of all of us if we choose to look at it, shows that this is not the case. In fact, everything is related. I love to read. Shakespeare, History, sociology, philosophy, religion, Spirituality, non-fiction, horror, romance, fairy tales, classics... there … Continue reading The Concept Of Everything

Today, I need to get personal, and I need to get real. I could ask the question, "What does it take to become a minister?", or make a comment regarding hypocrisy, and how most people (including myself), will make complaints about what other people are doing, but refuse to see it in themselves.
